In this short Lyfta Time session we will meet Enaney who is a tour guide in a small village in the Amhara region in Northern Ethiopia.
Teacher notes
This is the third Lyfta Time session we recommend as you get started with Lyfta. This mini-lesson can be delivered either from the front of the classroom using a central computer and screen, or for students who have access to their own computers or devices. This lesson introduces Enaney, a tour guide in Awra Amba - a small village in Northern Ethiopia who, despite being affected by famine, rejected food aid and built their own businesses. You could use it to explore themes such as: self-sufficiency, resilience, problem solving and entrepreneurship. Like ALL Lyfta storyworlds, these characters are unique. We don't share stories as being 'typical' or as 'single stories' of people or places. **Please note:** If this is your first Lyfta lesson, please see these specially designed introductory lesson plans first, which introduce the Quest Tracker and how Lyfta works: Option 1: '#1 Lyfta Time: Rob in Cornwall' is a 20 minute introduction exploring one storyworld Option 2: ‘How to use Lyfta’ is a 45 minute lesson exploring multiple storyworlds. **Follow-up lesson** If you would like to do a longer follow-up lesson afterwards, the Lyfta Lesson 'Entrepreneurship and sustainability' is available here: https://teacher.lyfta.com/teach/lesson-plans-previews/544
